Manchester City keep winning—but does it mean anything? Following their 3–0 victory over Liverpool at Anfield, I discuss the performance, the turning point of Ryan Gravenberch’s red card and the wider question hanging over the Premier League: how are supporters supposed to invest in a title race while City’s financial charges, verdict and appeal overshadow the competition?

There’s also a frustrated Manchester United fan’s assessment of the 1–1 draw with Tottenham at Old Trafford. Bryan Mbeumo’s opener wasn’t enough as Dominic Solanke rescued a point for ten-man Spurs. Why do United keep letting these opportunities slip—and where does it leave Michael Carrick?

Chelsea’s 5–1 win over Bournemouth provides another talking point, with Jordan Henderson and João Pedro scoring twice each. Are Chelsea beginning to show the quality and experience needed to become genuine Premier League title challengers?

Finally, Brighton’s 2–0 victory at Sunderland deserves attention. Despite being reduced to ten men, Fabian Hürzeler’s side secured another impressive result. Are we overlooking a serious contender for European football?

Could there be a major points deduction, an enormous fine, relegation from the Premier League or even titles being stripped—and how could City’s appeal change the outcome?There is also the much bigger question of legacy. Can Manchester City’s era of dominance ever be viewed in the same way again? For Manchester United supporters, does the verdict change the meaning of that iconic AGÜEROOOO! moment in 2012? And does the cloud over City’s 2023 treble reinforce the unique legacy of United’s historic achievement in 1999?If the guilty verdict is upheld, could the consequences finish Manchester City as we know them?Let me know what punishment you believe would be fair—and whether anything can repair the damage done to English football.After Review… every Monday at 7PM.Subscribe for Premier League discussion, football analysis and the stories behind the modern game.For football romantics—past and present.
